This board has an Intel Celeron Processor, 512Mb RAM, a Seagate HD and a Sony CDROM. It uses a BIOS from General Software dated 5/11/05. ACPI and APM have been disabled at the BIOS level. The same configuration successfully loads, installs and runs NetBSD 3.1, CentOS 4.4 and WindowsXP. Connecting a working Freebsd 6.1 disk generates a 'Fatal trap 9'. Start screen output ............ Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode instruction pointer = 0x68:0xdd4 stack pointer = 0x28:0xfd0 frame pointer = 0x28:0xdc5 code segment = base 0xc002d000, limit 0xffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 0 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) trap number = 9 panic: general protection fault Uptime: 1s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort ............ I'm stumped and looking for suggestions.
